What is DXQuake3
Oct0
Quake3 is one of the most widely documented games out there. Many people have dissected the .MD3 model files and .BSP level files that form the main artist assets in the game, providing a good foundation for writing your own Quake3 model viewer or level viewer. More importantly, the source code Quake3 game logic has been released by id Software so you can make mods. Mods are supposed to modify the game logic to make it easy to make a new game using the Quake3 3D engine. I have used them in reverse, making an engine which interfaces with the game DLLs to replace Quake3.exe. It is called DXQuake3 as it uses DirectX instead of OpenGL as its graphics API.
